Looking for Serious Disciples
Each Sunday evening in Lent we will focus on spiritual disciplines for the Christian life. There will be a time of prayer and worship each night, followed by a discussion of inner and outward disciplines such as: prayer, fasting, service, silence, and others. Studies will begin on March 5th at 6:30 PM and go through Palm Sunday evening. Come grow in your faith!
